Yaeyatoichicho

A nice machiya with traditional style that makes a good base for Kyoto exploration. Just across the bridge from two train lines and a block from city buses and a grocery, it's quiet and convenient. Futons are in the traditional Japanese room downstairs, while up a steep narrow staircase is a two twin bed bedroom, a sitting room with a lovely view of the river, a toilet and separate clothes dryer and washing machine. There's another toilet downstairs, along with a shower and an ofuro bath, deep but short in length. I recommend kyoto-yaeya dot com for communication with the owner over any other method.

We had a lovely time at this beautiful machiya. They were kind enough to let us drop off our bags before check-in time. Train station and bus stop close by All the amenities with clear instructions - heater/aircon, washing machine, Japanese bath Very comfortable beds and fluffy towels Enjoyed the beautiful living room overlooking the river
